8th July

Inspired by events at the opposite end of the country, an optimistic visit to the seawatching hide to look for Cory's Shearwaters produced nothing more interesting than 2 Storm Petrels, 2 Manx Shearwaters and a Red-throated Diver. The only new landbirds were 3 Swifts and 4 Common Redpolls, 2 of which were trapped and ringed in the evening.
